[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 2985601, member: 104268"] What's your opinion on the best bang for the buck 10x42 (maybe 10x50) class binoculars in the $800-$1200 TYD range (perhaps $900 - $1300 street price before a good sale or coupon)? My old man is looking for a nice set, but nothing too crazy. For perspective he's been reasonably happy with a pair of 20 year old Nikons that he claims were "top of the line" at the time he bought them. No need for ultra light, ultra tough, etc, as he's 74 years old, doesn't really do much if any big game hunting, and just wants a nice pair for hiking, truck duty, and general use. Basically a reasonably durable set with the best clarity/FOV in his budget, that aren't too bulky to pack on long hikes (he still gets around pretty dang good). I'm thinking it would hard to go wrong with a set of Vortex Razor HD 10x42 (maybe even the Viper HD), but figured I'd poll the peanut gallery for other options. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
